I HATE THE MEDIA ™

Rachel Maddow: GOP Embraces Ted Cruz’s McCarthyism We’d like to remind the Madbrow that for all his many faults Joseph McCarthy never put anybody in jail for making a Youtube video that he didn’t like. And whenever he helped rain down force from above it was from a tail gunner’s position. Not by remote control, and not against American citizens.

Bloomberg’s soda ban prohibits 2-liter bottles with your pizza. “Typically, a pizzeria charges $3 for a 2-liter bottle of Coke. But under the ban, customers would have to buy six 12-ounce cans at a total cost of $7.50 to get an equivalent amount of soda. ‘I really feel bad for the customers,’ said Lupe Balbuena of World Pie.” Elections have consequences, especially when you elect self-righteous jerks.

British MP George Galloway Storms Out of Debate With Israeli Student at Oxford: No he doesn’t debate with them. But we are sure he’d help them catch a train.

Statistics wizard Nate Silver gives his Oscar predictions: Who is Nate Silver? He is the guy that used predictive models to project that Obama would win the 2012 election. We will go out on a limb and affirm that if any of his picks get up to 120 percent of the vote -like Obama did in very strategic areas- they will likely perform as this fellow has suggested. One note of caution however. This is the Oscars and not a Presidential election; the sheeple will be keeping a much closer eye on things.

Silvio Berlusconi accused of trying to buy votes days before election: This fellow should have taken a page from the Obama handbook and started buying the votes nearly four years before the election.

One arrest as city sequoia cut down for bike path. Hippie fight. No matter who wins it still stinks.

Juan Williams: Liberal media will “shut you down, stab you, kill you, fire you” if you disagree. “I always thought it was… the right wingers of world, who were more resistant and more closed-minded about hearing the other side,” he said. “In fact, what I have learned… is that it is big media institutions who are identifiably more liberal to left-leaning who will shut you down, stab you and kill you, fire you, if they perceive that you are not telling the story in the way that they want it told.” Yeah, that’s just their tolerance and diversity showing.

Whole Foods removes chicken ad after complaints. The ad featured a man resembling Obama and some people were offended. “There are certain things that have been used to put down black people,” said nearby resident Woody Henderson. We’re guessing his lifelong search for excuses to be miffed started with the name “Woody.”

‘Shall not be infringed’ used but once in Constitution. Evidently our constitutional lecturer President either a) isn’t very up on the Constitution, or b) he’s not upholding his oath worth a crap.

Egypt flooding Hamas smuggling tunnels with raw sewage. “Why did they do this?” said Palestinian smuggler Abu Mutair Shalouf as he watched workers haul buckets of sewage-soaked soil from a tunnel. We’ll give you one guess, Abu.

Gang member arrested with ONE HUNDRED bags of heroin ‘concealed in his butt.’ Well, this shreds old definitions and gives new meaning to the term “anal retentive.”

CNN regular and political strategist: Chicago gun violence the fault of the GOP [VIDEO]. Republicans in Washington, DC are the problem? Where’d they find this loon? How about the gangs? Chicago’s largest gang, the Democrats, have run Chi Town since 1927. Then how about the estimated 6,400 gangbangers within the city limits? Oh no, they just couldn’t be the problem now, could they?

Detroit- Most Miserable City in the US. Detroitistan, run by Democrats since 1964, need we say more?

Blueprint NC: How A Shadowy Left-Wing Hydra Plans A Targeted Attack On NC Republicans. All Republicans and conservatives should read this and implement. It’s proof politics is like sports. If you’re not keeping the pressure on in a football/hockey/soccer/basketball game you’ll more than likely lose. Same with politics. Evidence? Look who won and why in the previous two presidential elections. Karl Rove should quit picking losers and using his PAC money to attack fellow Republicans and start using that money to attack Democrats 24x7x365. You can’t run a middle-of-the-road nice guys anymore and expect win elections.

Do we need IQ tests for juries? “…the jurors had presented [the chief justice] with a list of ten questions which revealed that they simply did not have a clue about what they had heard as evidence, what they had been told by himself or indeed what they were supposed to be doing there at all.” From the UK but undoubtedly not peculiar to them. Someone once quipped a defendant in a jury trial will be judged by 12 people who weren’t clever enough to get out of jury duty.

Welcome to Pyongyang: North Korea’s first video game is awful. Now we know what their dear leader Kimchi Un does all day when he’s not exploding nukes or blowing up his unfavored generals with mortars. We hear next month’s release will be a game titled Gangnam in the Gulag.

ABC: Devastating sequester cuts? Give me a break! We have to ask. Is sequester latin for BS? This is a non-issue that’s barely newsworthy. Funny all you hear on the TV is: Sequester! Sequester! The sky is falling! Frankly it seems about one of the few ways to get the Congressional Clown Circus and Obama to spend a little less. We say let her rip.

HORSEMEAT SCANDAL HITS U.S. We may soon be hearing commercials saying: Horse, the other white meat.

Cubans refuse to play with Korean balls. In a warmup match for the World Baseball Classic, the Cuban team insisted the game be played with their balls. The Koreans refused. Knowing the Cubans, their balls were manufactured by Russia back in the 1960s.

Rand Paul puts the money where his mouth is. For the second year in a row he didn’t spend all the money allocated for his senate office’s operating expenses. He’ll be sending a $600,000 check to the U.S. Treasury. Last year he returned $500,000. It’s so shocking to see a politician doing what he said he’d do, we’re almost ready to forget who is father is.

Teddy Turner: Jane Fonda turned father, Ted, into a liberal. Living proof liberalism is indeed a disease. Not only that, it’s evidently contagious.

JOE BIDEN: GUN OWNERS NOT DRIVEN BY FACTS. Joe wouldn’t know a fact if it weighed 100 pounds and landed on what’s left of his hair plugs.

California Higher-Ed: Regents Deny Critics a Fair Hearing. Well! How dare this professor question the UC Regent’s decisions about propagana courses? Why if we let him get away with this, next he may start questioning things like our competence and obverblown salaries and benefits.

CMS slashes Medicare Advantage; “Disarray for many seniors”. “Though Democrats denied it during the 2012 campaign, Obamacare cut Medicare by $716 billion [to fund] $1.9 trillion in new entitlement spending over the next 10 years. A big chunk of those Medicare cuts came from the… Medicare Advantage program. …the Obama administration postponed the Medicare Advantage cuts until after the election, so as to persuade seniors that everything would be just fine. But the election is over. ” If you like your health insurance, well tough sh*t.

Bob Menendez co-sponsoring “comprehensive” sex-education legislation. Well, underage hookers gotta start somewhere.
